"Worldburner" Plotters Seize Northern Stronghold

December 28, 5592

Baofluz, Khanate of Jelbe 
The Khan has declared a state of siege following the fall of Zwitkostrhosé, Bnire to Worldburner aligned military plotters. The garrison patrolling the far northern city located just 26km from the Jelbe-Vanukean border appeared to have been part of a secret Metzist society within the Great Jelbek Horde. Inspired or possibly even funded by Vanuku's Worldburner government which in turn draws aspiration from the old Jelbek modernisation movement, it has been reported that as many as thirty lost their lives in the seizure, the great majority being loyalist troops who attempted to prevent the plot.

A spokesman for the city's new occupiers Capt. Jlekai Salyzr issued a statement to foreign media outlets proclaiming the founding of a Democratic People's Republic  to be governed temporarily by a Revolutionary Popular Council.

"The criminality of the Nubajrka royal clan ends today. We will create a commonwealth  based on the principles of equality, legal, economic and social. A publicly funded education and healthcare system are already been set up in the liberated territories. Workers, herders and artisans of Jelbe, rise up and destroy the oppressor! The steppe will be tame, the aristocrat will be dust!"

The Khan has vowed to destroy the rebels and remains in Baofluz mustering a force to accompany him north to retake the city. The royal court was already deeply troubled by the collapse of the Khaganate at the hands of the Vanukean Worldburners but perhaps typical of the Khan's notorious indecisiveness, nothing had been stated on the matter, Jelbe continued interacting with Vanuku with little change
